How much does windshield protection film cost?

Shops that publish prices charge about $450-$650 to film a standard windshield and $850-$900 for oversize glass such as a Tesla Model X, Cybertruck, or full-size van; owners report paying around $500 installed in 2026. ExoShield estimates 60-90 minutes of install time for its GT3+ film. Treat it as a wear item: warranties run 1 year or 12,000 miles (XPEL), 18 months or 18,000 miles (ClearPlex), and 3 years (ExoShield GT3+), covering defects rather than chips or wiper scratches. Some states, including California and Florida, restrict any material on the windshield, so check your state's rule first.
